This two-double-bedroom Victorian cottage on Lord Street blends period charm with commuter convenience. The spacious through lounge/diner, sash bay window and south-facing rear garden create an inviting living space for first-time buyers looking for character close to town.
The property is freehold, double-glazed (installed after 2002) and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators. At about 855 sqft, it offers sensible room sizes and easy walking distance to Hoddesdon town centre and nearby Broxbourne and Rye House stations — a practical base for commuting.
There is clear renovation potential, particularly to update the kitchen, bathroom and internal finishes; the house has solid brick walls likely without modern insulation. Crucially, sale cannot legally complete until a Land Registry title update is processed — buyers should factor this administrative delay into their timetable. The area scores as deprived with a higher local crime rate, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this cottage suits a first-time buyer or small household who value period features and location and are prepared to invest time and money into sensible improvements. Early viewing is recommended if you want a characterful home with development potential near transport links.
